Create With Stamping With Friends Creatively Simple 152

Last Week Using A Summer Theme!

Good Morning and welcome to Creatively Simple at Create With Stamping Friends. All month long we have been using SUMMER as our theme:

I used some vibrant colors from the Full Of Life Designer Paper along with some cute dragonfly images from the Happiest Day stamp set:

The dragonflies are a two-step stamping image which means I stamped the outline first and then added color to the inside with another stamp image. I also fussy-cut both of my dragonflies:
